Learning and Evaluation

In the context of potentially the most competitive elections in Tanzania's history, a number of heavily criticized laws passed in 2015, Twaweza commissioned a study on civic space in the country. Looking at the period 2010 - 2015, using international and national sources of evidence, we assess civic space in Tanzania according to five dimensions.

Twaweza East Africa commissioned Ipsos Tanzania in 2015 to gather feedback on how much average Tanzanian citizens know about us, the campaigns that we implement, and what do they think of them? This brief reveals it all.

Outlining an innovative research conducted in Uganda, which used the conjoint methodology,to help evaluate Twaweza’s election-related initiatives, and also to conduct original, cutting-edge research into the often unstated reasons and motivations for how citizens vote.

Building on the exciting Twaweza – MIT collaboration in the context of the 2015 Tanzanian elections, which resulted in very rich formative and evaluative insights, we turned the research lens on Uganda, where the national election took place in February 2016.

Here we present a first in Tanzania: using a conjoint experiment to determine what really drives citizens' voting choices. Conducted with the Governance Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
